Phoronix: AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 Source Code Published

After AMD announced FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 back in March, as of today they have made good on their word to open-source it...

Interesting. I expected it to be very slow, but at 1080p/1440p it's quite fast, possibly faster than many other TAA implementations even. Not sure if computing motion vectors and the like factors into that, though.

Also, typo:

This temporal uoscaling solution

Just a little under 2MB of source code vs ~238MB for NVIDIA DLSS 2.2.

I wonder if this can be modified to not need a depth buffer, so it might be applicable to video files with automatically generated motion vectors...

I am wondering if it could completely replace TAA implementations in games. One implementation instead of 2, when many games have bad implementations of TAA, maybe it could improve the situation across the board? But can it be used with native resolution?

The capabilities of both are entirely different things

Indeed, even more impressive. Being better while being so small.

This is not what professional reviewers have concluded:

It's decent, but it's definitely not better.

Cool. It has nothing in common with version 1.
Code Looks much cleaner.

From experience I don’t think it looks better. It competes with Nvidia’s Image Scaling along with every other traditional upscaler that’s in game engines. For example UE5 which has Temporal Super Resolution. I’m certain Intel’s XeSS, Nvidia’s DLSS will continue to be in leagues of their own. I know Microsoft/Sony are also working on their own AI upscalers. FaceBook already has their own called neural supersampling. AMD has been working on an AI solution since the release of the Radeon VII.
